Be Who's Nanny?!

XXXI: Dare

Zaira's POV

"Sinong Lea?" sabi ko sa kanya, tapos tumayo at tumingin ulit kung san sya nakatingin.

"Wala wala. Halika na." sabi nya, then he took my wrist and pulled me, pero nagbitiw ako kasi yung bag ko di ko nakuha sa upuan.

"Teka yung bag ko." sabi ko. Tumayo nalang sya tapos hinintay akong kunin yung bag ko.

"Hi, Zaira." may nagsabi sakin nung inabot ko yung bag ko. Tumingala ako, and my eyes widened a bit. I stepped back with my bag in my grip, tapos naramdaman ko nalang na someone's hand went to my waist. Tinignan ko kung sino yun, and it was none other than Rohan.

"Babe, let's get going." sabi nya sakin, loud enough for 'Misty' to hear.

"Oh, sorry. Am I ruining your date?" sabi nya samin. Ngumiti lang ako.

"I just wanna apologize about the tripping thing the other day." sabi nya.

"Wala na yun." sabi ko. Tumingin ako kay Rohan, nakatingin sya kay Misty.

"Good. Uhmm.. I want us to be friends, is that okay?" sabi nya sakin, tapos tumingin din sya sakin.

"Babe.." sabi ko kay Rohan habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"Up to you." sabi nya lang. Tumingin ako kay Misty habang nakangiti tapos sabi ko,  "Sure, Misty."

"That would be great, Zaira. I hope your boyfriend won't disagree if he could be my friend too." sabi nya.

"Where did you get that necklace?" sabi ni Rohan sa kanya.

"Someone special from my past. Someone around here reminds me of him a bit, but I think he has changed. Anyways, I have to go. See you around?" sabi nya tapos ngumiti sya.

"Ok, bye." sabi ko lang sa kanya.

Yung totoo lang, Rohan?

Anong meron sa necklace nya?

"Let's go." sabi nya tapos nanguna nang maglakad, yung mukha nya parang inis nanaman.

Sumunod nalang ako sa kanya. Kumuha na sya ng isang malaking cart tapos nilagay dun yung bag nya. Tumakbo nako para makasabay na sa kanya.

"Ano na namang nangyari sayo?" sabi ko sa kanya nang di tumitingin sa kanya. Hinawakan ko yung cart para tumigil sya sa pagtulak, tapos nilagyan ko yung ng canned foods.

"You agreed with being friends with someone who used to make fun of you. How was that possible?" sabi nya. Hinila ko din yung cart para matulak nya papunta sa kabilang section.

"You should be asking that to yourself. Kinakaibigan kita kahit ilang beses mo nakong inaasar at pinagtatawanan." sabi ko sa kanya, tapos pinatigil sya ulit nung nasa tapat na namin yung mga fresh milk at juices.

"Iba naman yung situation natin sa kanya. I mean, you work for me and it's an excuse kung inaasar kita--"

"Woah, in what way is that considered as an excuse?" sabi ko habang naglalagay ng dalawang fresh milk at dalawang juice box sa cart tapos pinatulak yung cart para sa tabi neto na processed meat.

"Aish.. Basta! She's making fun of you and I think she'll do you no good. Pick the one with no cheese." sabi nya, tapos tumuro sa hotdog na walang cheese.

"Ayaw ko lang ng away, ok? Para lang iwas gulo." sabi ko sa kanya tapos pinatulak ulit paglagay ko ng pack ng hotdog, ham, patty at fries.

"Ano, yung chicken na lang ba talaga mamaya?" sabi ko sa kanya bago pa man kami makarating sa meat section.
